We picked up a big pot in progress in the middle of the room.

With the flop already out on the table, the board read {10-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} {3-Clubs}. Dan Goonin fired a bet from the blinds, and his opponent came over the top with a raise to 3,000. Goonin bumped it back up to 8,000 before the man across the table announced, "All in." Goonin shrugged and quickly called with his covering stack.

Showdown
Goonin: {Q-Spades} {Q-Hearts}
Opponent: {A-Spades} {A-Diamonds}

The two ladies of Goonan had out-flopped aces, and the turn and river came blank-blank to seal the deal. With a handshake and an awkward smile, we've lost our first player of the day.
